One of my favorites, Thai style chicken

Thai Curry with Shitake Mushrooms and Chicken

It's true, I make this a lot. Spicy and rich with coconut milk. It's easy for me because I have most of the Asian ingredients needed always on hand so it's just buying a nice piece of  fish or chicken to go with it. Tonight I served black forbidden rice and a sliced mango with grilled chicken breast.
